Her work draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy.

Techniques are chosen to match what the client wants to accomplish.
Jennifer also lists additional focus areas including attachment and abandonment issues, chronic pain or illness, communication and control concerns, grief, and career or money stress. She notes experience with issues such as bipolar disorder, parenting strain, intimacy-related problems, and compassion fatigue.

How her approaches translate to online work
Jennifer commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the person feels heard and can clarify their own priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thought patterns and behaviors to find small changes that reduce anxiety and improve daily functioning.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. She will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their goals, preferences, and what they want to change. That collaborative decision making helps shape session goals and homework between meetings.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online work can make scheduling simpler, help fit sessions into a busy day, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people work with a therapist from their own region without travel, while still focusing on practical CBT tools, motivation building, and goal-focused strategies.
